Novinarji so o domnevnih dejavnostih Romov pisali na podlagi govoric tudi takrat, ko je šlo za tako problematične izjave, kakršne so grožnje s streljanjem: Grusupeljski Romi namreč javno grozijo vaščanom Malin s požigom vasi, streljanjem vaščanov, z nasilnim vseljevanjem in organiziranjem Romov (ki jih je več kot članov Malin), če ne bodo marali medse njihovih rojakov. (Delo, 26. 9. 1997) 2 (podčrtale a.).
The journalists reported the assumed doings of the Roma on the basis of rumors, even when the statements were quite problematic, like for example the threat about shooting. "As a matter of fact, the Roma from Grosuplje publicly threaten the villagers of Maline that they will burn the village, shoot the villagers, forcibly move in and organize the Roma (who are more numerous than the villagers of Maline), if they refuse to accept among them their cousins. The threats triggered a self-defense mechanism." (Delo, 26.9.1997)3.
